Did You Know Wisconsin Is Home to Two Different Drive-Thru Safaris?

Remember last year when everything was pretty much closed and you had to find drive-thru activities in order to have some family fun? Yeah, it sucked, but one drive-thru experience that definitely did not suck was Safari Lake Geneva.

My family took a day trip last summer to Lake Geneva, and of course, we had to check out the drive-thru safari that everyone was raving about. My kids LOVED it, and still talk about the ostrich that followed our car the whole time to this day. Here he is...

Now that the COVID situation is getting a little sketchy again, I highly recommend taking the short drive to Safari Lake Geneva to experience a whole bunch of animals like zebras, giraffes, bison, ostriches, camels and SO much more really up close and personal from the comfort of your own car.

Tickets to Safari Lake Geneva must be purchased in advance to reserve your time slot, so you better do that right now at safarilakegeneva.com.

Wisconsin Is Also Home to ANOTHER Drive-Thru Safari at Wildwood Park and Zoo

I discovered this morning, (thanks to onlyinyourstate.com), Wisconsin also has another drive-thru safari experience for us to enjoy in Marshfield. It's called Wildwood Park and Zoo, and besides offering a driving tour featuring the park's largest animals, it does have a walking zoo experience the kids will love too, and guess what? Admission into Wildwood Park and Zoo is completely FREE!

For those wondering where Marshfield, Wisconsin is, it's just over a 3-hour drive from Rockford, but only about an hour and a half away from the Wisconsin Dells if you're heading to that neck of the woods anytime soon.
